I love reading and as of now that is fiction only. Love all genres except horror and for the past few years, been gorging on romance. Thrillers are my first love and add some romance to it then all the more better.
Marriage by Necessity (Bravo Family, #2) - Christine Rimmer I am not a fan of book where the hero doesn't realize his mistake for a long time or unrequited love but there is something about the Bravos and this author's writing I like and this book was no less.

The heroine gives the hero a call after years, they grew up together when he came to live with his grandfather as a troubled fourteen year old and as they grew older, the heroine who was alone with her father on the ranch fell in love with him and tried telling him but Nate had other plans and he left, now he's an investigator in LA and she needs his help, she needs to marry according to her father's will and produce a baby to keep her beloved ranch and the only person acceptable to her is the only man she has loved.

The hero refuses, marriage has never been in the cards for him, but thoughts of the heroine doing it to someone else drives him crazy and he agrees to her plan, stay married till she gets pregnant and then divorce and it goes well, he loves working on the ranch, being her first lover and husband and when according to their agreement she goes to live in LA with him, things go well.

The heroine vowed to herself she wouldn't ask for more time but even when she gets pregnant she doesn't tell him, and then she confronts him about how he doesn't talk with his mother when he realizes what they set out for is done and tells her to leave.

The heroine does, and goes back to the ranch and to her life, but when her pregnancy leads to shortage of hands at the ranch, Nate comes on his cousin's urgings, driving Meggie crazy and then she tells him to stay or go forever and he does, but he's miserable and then he finally figures out why he has always craved freedom because as a helpless boy his father used to lock him in the dark and he goes to Meggie who he as always loved.
